OK it's a Ricer commerical but still pretty cool

You got see this for yourself

There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time it was over, they were ready to change professions. The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete including full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it is two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in Internet history. Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself Simply in "free viewings" When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation - including the costs. There are six, and only six, hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film. Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls,floor, ramp and complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars. The voice-over is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real. Oh. and about those funky windshield wipers On the new Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing their thing automatically as soon as they become wet. It looks a bit weird in the commercial.
And NO I am in know way even thinking about buying a F-ing Ricer W.P

maybe honda should spend less time wasting time on commercials like that and more on making better vehicles.

true honda doesn't make overpowered tire burning machines like phord, but their cars will last a helluva lot longer than any mustang will.

Any car will last if it's cared for, but HP is not everyones highest priority. There are some people who like a quiet smooth drive. Good gas mileage. Long warranties. Large trunk space. Roomy back seats. More than two doors. Bieng able to bring more than two friend along. Yeah I got that number right. You know damn well whoever is sitting in the back has to sit sideways. LOL
